Great Apartment and Location

Stayed here for a month and had a great experience. The apartment is newly renovated and very clean and functional. There is a great view of the ocean from the rooftop patio and is a short distance from the beach and Bird Rock. Would definitely visit again.

Great Stay

We had a really wonderful stay! There are great coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants in walking distance and it was so nice being close to the beach. It was so nice to enjoy the rooftop while our baby was napping/sleeping. Parking was always easy to find. I would highly recommend this space.

Pacific Beach Stay

This place was absolutely perfect for our week stay. It had everything we needed from amenities to the perfect amount of space for 2 people. Amazing location minutes (by foot and car) to the ocean and wonderful cafes/restaurants - on top of being nestled in a very safe feeling neighborhood. The apartment was clean, private and everything we needed. I would absolutely return for our next stay!

Just Right

Just right...size, location, access, amenities and clean. Size is small. Location is quiet but in the middle of it all. Guest needs provided. Comfy bed and pull out sofa as expected. Full yet compact kitchen and even a washer and dryer. Unique roof top space adds another room to it all in the sunshine or under the stars.

Nice spot, 10min from Tourmaline Beach

Location is 10min walk from Tourmaline Beach in a quiet neighborhood. I had a pleasant ~2month stay while working in SD. Comfortable bedroom, well-equipped kitchen, and rooftop deck can work for a gathering. Big thanks to the super-responsive property mgr for adding a small desk for computer work and roofdeck umbrella, which overall made the spaces more comfortable and work-oriented rather than crashpad-ish. A good choice for a weekend stay. Is the back unit of another apt, so the entrance that doesn't intrude on the front unit is the alley through the garbage bins (not my favorite as they were nearly always full from the other units). Near a nice surf break and a handful of nice restaurants eastward

Best rental we've had in Pacific Beach

Can't say enough. We had such a great experience with our rental and we've had a few over the last nine years. The pictures are accurate and current, and they're not stretched. The unit was so clean, everything was great quality, the location was maybe 2-3 blocks to Tourmaline beach, loved the rooftop sunset and barbecuing. And the neighborhood is safe and quiet and people are so nice. And their response to a few texts were very timely. Definitely will rent here again, without a doubt. Bonus--daughter lives very very close. We will be back. Thanks Jorde!

Perfect stay

The home is one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. It’s a stones throw from Tourmaline Beach & close to several restaurants and shops. Great contemporary design, everything feels brand new, awesome rooftop patio with views of everything! The A/C kept things at a perfect temperature and the neighborhood is really nice and easy to find parking.

Great stay in North PB

This place was perfect for my husband and me. Everything was modern - kitchen, bathroom, living space, bedroom. It was so well equipped with everything you might need, including beach towels and chairs for the quick 7 minute walk to Tourmaline Beach. We loved having the private rooftop deck which included two loungers, a big umbrella, two chairs and a cocktail table plus a fire pit and grill. It was a great space to have morning coffee or watch the sunset. There isn't a dedicated parking space but 90% of the time we found street parking in front of our unit. The other times we might have parked a block away. Couldn't ask for more and we will definitely stay here again!

Roof Top Time!

We loved this tiny little place. It was perfect for 2. Very clean and we lived on the rooftop deck, sunning, working out and hanging out! I was so close to bars, restaurants and the beach! Perfect location!

Another great stay in North PB!

Planned a quick trip to San Diego and luckily our favorite one bedroom in North Pacific Beach was available. It helps that it's just a few doors down from our daughter's place, but besides that, it fits every need. Sapphire Bliss is the perfect size for me and my husband but what keeps us coming back is the amazing private rooftop deck. The unit is on the second floor and then up a spiral staircase to access the deck but we love the privacy. It's a quick walk to the beach but it's also nice to just walk upstairs and relax with coffee in the morning or wine at night. We grilled steaks one night and watched the sunset. The unit is well equipped for cooking and has plenty of space for a couple. It's in our favorite neighborhood in San Diego with the right amount of coffee shops (Java Earth), restaurants (Second Nature) and bars (Latitude). Don't miss out on the food at Latitude. The Philly Tots are so worth it with an ice cold beer. Gelson's is a 5 minute walk for any grocery needs, and Trader Joe's is a quick 10 minute drive. This unit is our go-to spot to stay. There is no dedicated parking spot but we've never really found it to be an issue. Again, this place hits every mark for us. Thanks, Drift!!

Great!

The property was better than expected. I highly recommend. The only con I have is the parking. The agent said, since it was off season it should be easier to find parking. Not so much...be careful on weekends.
